The Consumer Confidence Index, a survey of how optimisticorpessimistic people feel about the economy, has been up and down in 2010, and consumers still feel pessimistic about the job market.
Some may disagree with me on my basic assumptions, either viewing them as over optimisticor over pessimistic, but I think a discussion centered on growth, profitability and the cost of growth is not only a healthy one but one that we should be having about all young, growth companies.
